Our CBD Products First Listed in Prescribers’ Digital Reference
To achieve our mission of expanded access to cannabinoid products, Medical Marijuana, Inc. works for a greater understanding among consumers, lawmakers, and the medical community regarding the difference quality CBD products can make in the lives of those who use them.
In February, we announced that HempMeds® Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) Gold Label and Kannaway® Pure Gold hemp-derived CBD products had become the first two hemp-derived CBD dietary supplements to be listed in the Prescribers’ Digital Reference® (also known as Physicians’ Desk Reference or PDR).
The Prescribers’ Digital Reference delivers comprehensive and innovative knowledge on the health industry’s products and services to support the prescribing decisions of health professionals. This inclusion of Medical Marijuana, Inc. CBD products in the PDR is an important milestone for CBD as it gains acceptance by the medical community as a health and wellness compound.

Since our beginning, Medical Marijuana, Inc. and our subsidiaries have focused on creating only top quality products, holding them to our strict manufacturing and safety standards. In the first quarter of 2019, our quality standards were recognized by the U.S. hemp industry’s first certifying body.
The U.S. Hemp Authority has awarded companies and brands in our portfolio with their Certification Seal, once again confirming the high quality of our line of hemp and CBD products. In total, the organization presented 13 of their Certification Seals to hemp and CBD businesses in this first round of approvals, including to Kannaway, HempMeds®, and Dixie Botanicals® products.

New Products
To stay competitive in the CBD market and to ensure our customers have CBD products to fit their needs, Medical Marijuana, Inc. and our subsidiary companies are always working to expand the reach of our brands by introducing new hemp and CBD products to the market.
Early in January, Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary HempMeds® introduced its new Real Scientific Hemp Oil Maximum Strength. This new product is our company’s most potent full-spectrum product, containing 4,500 mg of CBD in each 10-gram oral applicator, a whopping 45% CBD. RSHO Max Strength features both CBD and its raw form CBDa. This is due to its proprietary blend of premium RSHO hemp oils, including RSHO Green Label raw CBD oil and RSHO Gold decarboxylated and filtered CBD oil.

International CBD Events
Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary HempMeds® Brasil hosted a number of educational events for doctors in the country with the aim of giving them the information they need to confidently prescribe CBD for their patients, including how CBD interacts with the body, different treatment options using CBD, and how CBD  can benefit their patients. This included events in Q1 at the company’s headquarters in São Paulo and in the city of Salvador, Bahia.
Also in Q1, our subsidiary Kannaway held its Hemp for Humanity event in Vienna, Austria. The event was hosted with the intention of promoting hemp and CBD products like those from Kannaway to consumers in the European Union. At the event, CBD advocates, Kannaway executive, and the company’s top performing Brand Ambassadors spoke on a range of topics from the benefits of hemp for the planet, to the promising effects of CBD, to ways that citizens in the EU can enter the hemp and CBD market in Europe for themselves.
Events like these from HempMeds® Brasil and Kannaway are critical in educating people around the world on how CBD can make an impact on their lives and the lives of those they care about.
